From Debt and Divorce to Building Her Dream Home as a Single Mum
4/26/202637 min
She went from owing money to everyone… to building her dream home.
This week’s Money Diary is a story about starting over. After having kids and going through a separation, she found herself navigating life as a single mum on one income, with the kind of financial pressure that leaves no room for error.
But instead of staying stuck, she rebuilt.
New mindset, new boundaries, and a completely different approach to money and relationships. Now she’s earning six figures in sales, has a deposit ready, and is about to start building her home.
We get into what actually changed, how she approached money the second time around, and why being honest about finances early on made all the difference.
It’s a reminder that your money story isn’t fixed… even if it feels like it is.
